There are countless alternatives for designer buys today, which is great because it makes it accessible for those with expensive tastes to get the coveted look without breaking the bank. If you ask me, 99% of the alternatives fall short in quality and design. Today, however, I came across a gem: $30 H&M mesh flats that actually are a great substitute for Staud's best-selling Alba flats.
What truly captivates me about this H&M find is its striking similarity to the designer pair. Not only do they look luxe, but they also feature the exact details, like the cotton mesh upper, rounded toe, and easy slip-on style. The main difference is that the Staud pair has a tiny heel. Additionally, these H&M flats offer a fantastic opportunity for budget-conscious fashion lovers to dive into the mesh-flats trend, which gained momentum last spring and is poised to capture even more hearts this year.
Below, you can browse and shop these darling $30 flats, allowing you to pocket a fantastic $365 in savings. In the world of girl math, that means you have an extra $365 to spend on a chic sweater, a dress, a pair of jeans, or an It bag. It's truly a win-win situation.
Shop the $395 designer pair:
